Our international basketball player, former MP, and former Mayor of Piraeus, Panagiotis Fasoulas, opens his heart on the MAGGA show on BNtv
The "basketgate" scandal, which led to the arrest of former president of the Hellenic Basketball Federation (HBF), Vangelis Liolios, his associates, and referees, was well known to insiders. Our international basketball player, former MP, and former Mayor of Piraeus, Panagiotis Fasoulas, opens his heart on the MAGGA show on BNtv and speaks about the dirty ring that match-fixed, manipulated, and extorted, emphasizing that he himself had been shouting about it for years. And the worst part? The elections to elect the new management of HBF are called to be organized by "the spineless lackeys of the remanded Liolios," he will reveal, answering journalist Antzy Stathatou, exposing Greek basketball corruption.
The "dark" 2021 elections and the tampering in the "Zeus" ballot box
And if in 1987 all of Greece sang "with Galis, Giannakis, Fasoulas, and the other boys" skyrocketing the popularity of the sport, today's reality is not the same: "Darkness has fallen on basketball," Panagiotis Fasoulas will say, revealing that Liolios's "orphans" are delaying elections at HBF so that they can propose referees on December 15, thus continuing to control the system that was set up, while "they claim the government supports them." The elections this time will take place in person, to avoid the incidents of 2021, when Fasoulas had lost the elections to Liolios in an electronic vote via the "ZEUS" ballot box, where votes could be changed. That is, you could vote and then un-vote and change your vote, as many times as you wanted! "They changed votes through extortion," Panagiotis Fasoulas denounces, even stating that Fanis Christodoulou, known across Greece, found himself with fewer votes than a municipal gym employee, severely undermining EOK election integrity.
Chaos in lower divisions and fixed school championships. EOK debts to coach and workers
The basketball that once made Greeks proud now needs purge and transparency. What does Panagiotis Fasoulas propose for the referees, who reached 120 in the A1 division and are not relegated no matter what they do? What is happening in A2 and the lower divisions? Are school championships fixed too? Can someone be a manager for both player and coach? Why does he call the two technical fouls on Bogris a "death contract"? To which former National Team coach does HBF owe money, and why does it not pay employees' earned wages?
